Monarch 720B and FL430

I wasn't sure if my memory was at fault, but now someone has also flown at FL430 on a Monarch 720 maybe it isn't. Zurich-Luton on G-AZNX 18/5/78 - I thought were came back at FL430 but wasn't sure if they really could make that level. Only my 2nd flight on the type. And the only true "greaser" landing I have experienced, where you realise you're on the ground only from the rumble of the wheels - the customers (mainly Swiss nationals) broke into spontaneous applause. Same skipper as the 0-FL330 in 4½ minutes related yesterday.
